>>/6098/ > i really want to use an alternative to /mlp/, but i am not sure for what reason > i will try and post to live endchan/pone/ a smidge well, just do whatever you see convenient for you. Now, I have to add something here that I didn´t post yesterday and I left omitted on purpose form the answer that anyone would expect. I have to confess a more personal view here: >>/6084/ > someone said that a lot of beautiful artworks are plagued with ocs that only 1 person would appreciate >>/6085/ this anon right there...has a point, to an extent. However, I would suggest him to take a deeper dive into the OCs and tell everyone how images like these have no value at all by themselves... If that anon told me that sentence around 2011 and we were involved in the Sonic fanbase (whose OCs rely on being as edgy or badass as Shadow the Hedgehog), then I would have agreed with him around that time. However, in 2020 and in MLP, unless that the OC is meant for a ship (Canon character x the self inserted OC) or create a powerful alicorn so it´s the coolest one to display in the entirety of Equestria (alicorns of three horns, unbeatable level of power in terms of magic and so on), OCs in MLP barely have any difference from any background character that would appear in any scene of any episode. Being powerful or unique psychically doesn´t matter in order to sell it to the fans and thus... as >>/6094/ has said, most of them are meant to be drawn/paid with commissions but that doesn´t prevent the artist to draw canon characters in the future. Even though there is always a handicap of appreciation from a canon character that is famous vs an OC that no one cares, as long as the art is good or the backstory/fics dedicated to them have effort behind them, one can also share that appreciation almost indifferently despite not caring nor being all that familiar towards it. I agree with the handicap of appealing a limited number of fans but as long as those characters accomplish what they are meant to do for those fans, no one can complain all that much about them. The main problem of that criticism relies on the fact that most OCs are cheap creations and don´t have anything interesting to offer (which is a legit argument but stereotyping them to that level... we would be entering in a dangerous territory here with that generalization).
